Intraday Predictability of Overnight Interest Rates
Lee (2001) found the overnight Eurodollar rate in London and the effective Fed funds rate exhibit similar calendar-day effects although the absolute magnitudes are less. Explanations for the smaller calendar-day effects on the overnight Eurodollar rate include the difference between market-specific conventions in the two markets and the time difference in measuring two interest rates. This paper investigates the relationship between the Fed funds rate at 11:30 am EST, the effective Fed funds rate and the overnight Eurodollar rate in London. It is found that the different calendar-day effects are caused by both the difference between market structures and by data collecting time difference.
Frequency based Classification of Activities using Accelerometer Data
This work presents, the classification of user activities such as Rest, Walk
and Run, on the basis of frequency component present in the acceleration data
in a wireless sensor network environment. As the frequencies of the above
mentioned activities differ slightly for different person, so it gives a more
accurate result. The algorithm uses just one parameter i.e. the frequency of
the body acceleration data of the three axes for classifying the activities in
a set of data. The algorithm includes a normalization step and hence there is
no need to set a different value of threshold value for magnitude for different
test person. The classification is automatic and done on a block by block
basis.Comment: IEEE International Conference on Multisensor Fusion and Integration

Regulation of taurine transport at the blood-placental barrier by calcium ion, PKC activator and oxidative stress conditions
An Authenticated Group Key Agreement Protocol on Braid groups
In this paper, we extend the 2-party key exchange protocol on braid groups to the group key agreement protocol based on the hardness of Ko-Lee problem. We also provide authenticity to the group key agreement protocol
Roles of zinc and metallothionein-3 in oxidative stress-induced lysosomal dysfunction, cell death, and autophagy in neurons and astrocytes
Zinc dyshomeostasis has been recognized as an important mechanism for cell death in acute brain injury. An increase in the level of free or histochemically reactive zinc in astrocytes and neurons is considered one of the major causes of death of these cells in ischemia and trauma. Although zinc dyshomeostasis can lead to cell death via diverse routes, the major pathway appears to involve oxidative stress
